The problem is that he's aiming for a 'slide show', either computer or
projector. One will  FILL with black the other with WHITE.

He mighas well acknowledge that images are rectangular and if he doesn't
have information in part of the rectange, then the device will FILL IN
something in the remainder.

The 'FILL' might as well be of -=his=- choice, but then ... ?

It's called 'practicality' and 'working WITH the technology'!

PNG also is 'generic' and has transparency.
